Take a trip with me!🚘A 3-hour journey that’s only 45 minutes away! @ishtiahtx has an 18-course menu worth the drive to Kemah! Chef David Skinner is from Choctaw decent, and did you know there are only a handful of indigenous focused restaurants in the US? He draws inspiration from his ancestry and grandmother’s influence. @texasmonthly ranked Isthia as number 5 Best New Restaurants of 2025 and @eater named it one of the best new restaurants in America in 2024. Chef Skinner was also named as a semifinalist for “Best Chef Texas” for @beardfoundation. I just returned from Chicago, ate at a 2-star Michelin restaurant, and I can tell you that I enjoyed Ishita much more and see a star⭐️in their future! The menu is seasonal, and I can’t wait to go back to experience the next. @eculent speakeasy restaurant and liquid lab is another amazing spot that Chef Skinner owns next to Ishtia. This will be reopening very soon so be on the lookout and make reservations for both! _______________ #food #gastronomy #cocktails #htx #houston #speakeasy #houstondatenight #houstonfoodblogger #datenight #upscaledining #wine #foodpairing #indigenousfood #bestrestaurant #bestchef #jamesbeard

Very eccentric and wonderful food, ambience, decor, and service. Will be returning. Chef David presented some very delicious food and was very interested in our tastes, thoughts, and explaining the menu. The steak bites are incredible as was everything else. Very nice evening and well worth the time and effort. Thank you!

Amazing experience and excellent service! Presentation of food was top-notch. We tried the vegetarian menu this time and found it to be equally as tasty as the non-vegetarian version.

About eight of us were outside a locked door awaiting our 5 PM reservations. By 10 after five we started banging on the door and an employee came out and said they had forgotten to put up a sign directing us to the side of the building. Had it not been so hot and humid perhaps we would not have been so miserable, but it did not start our evening out on the right foot. We found the picnic basket, disappointing and my friend said her mushroom soup tasted like dish water, though it was interesting to watch it smoke. We enjoyed the shrimp main course and crème brûlée was classic and delicious.

The one category not asked to rate was value, that is why I rated Eculent as a 2. The Eculent from years ago is not what I experienced recently. We were very sad and decided that would be our last visit to Eculent. Why? Service was slow and they came out with our 3rd course after we were waiting 30 minutes for our second course. You can only buy their wine label which was so so and not a good value for the cost. The meal was the same, nothing made us say wow and felt it was more showmanship vs that gave you flavor experiences. There was very little protein provided leaving saying that maybe we should stop at In-n-Out on the way home. Last was being told the 20% service charge did not cover the tip for the meal which Open Table had automatically added. We heard the discussions from all the tables and everyone was confused since this had not been disclosed or explained. Full disclosure, we had done BCN and Le Jardenier also this HRW before Eculent - much better experiences.

My mom, sister, and I came for the Houston Restaurant Weeks dinner menu and were really excited. The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning, but unfortunately, that was easily the best part of the experience. Service was slow, which was especially frustrating considering the tiny portions and relatively small dining room. The Eculent Picnic Basket was the best course of the meal, although we did not receive much explanation of each item, which took away from the experience. The Pig in a Cloud was unique, but the pork belly was tiny and the entire bite tasted overwhelmingly like paprika with only a hint of sweetness. The second course was extremely underwhelming. The Smoking Mushroom Soup seemed to rely almost entirely on the dry ice theatrics because the actual broth was mediocre at best. The Foie Gras and Caviar Brioche tasted like something that could easily be recreated with grocery store ingredients, while the brioche itself was so dry and crispy that it practically disintegrated in my mouth. The third course was the worst. The shrimp in the Shrimp in Corn Butter was cooked well, but the sauce was overwhelmingly sweet. The Beef Bourguignon with Whipped Potatoes was even worse. The red wine flavor was harsh, the potatoes were bland, and the entire dish lacked seasoning. Dessert was barely an improvement. The Assorted Chocolate Tarts were tiny and dry, while the Chicha Morada Sorbet tasted more like spiced bubblegum. The Crème Brûlée was the best of the three, but even that was disappointing because the caramelized sugar topping was already soggy. Overall, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve had in Houston. Even at the discounted $55 Houston Restaurant Weeks price, I felt ripped off by both the tiny portions and poor execution. The elaborate presentations may look impressive, but theatrics cannot make up for mediocre food. I cannot imagine paying the regular prices for this experience.
